It is estimated that more than 6% of the U.S. population will experience post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Center for PTSD, 2010). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of  anxiousness and depression frequently lead to substance abuse issues and  even physical ailments. For this Discussion, as you examine the Thompson Family Case Study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.  

 Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of your observations of the client William in Thompson Family Case Study,  including behaviors that align to the PTSD criteria in DSM-5. Then,  explain therapeutic approaches you might use with this client, including  psychotropic medications if appropriate. Finally, explain expected outcomes for the client based on these therapeutic approaches. Support  your approach with evidence-based literature.

Q1: Review the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) website on Health Literacy. Define health literacy and discuss the “Universal Precautions” approach to health literacy. What are three approaches nurses can use to improve health literacy in patient-centered care?

Q2:Define the challenges of interdisciplinary teams according to the IOM. From a nursing perspective, do you agree with this statement? If so, why do you think interdisciplinary work is difficult to achieve? If not, why not?

 A nurse practice scholar must locate credible evidence to address nursing practice problems. Conduct a brief literature search and select a source of evidence to address a practice problem at your workplace. Address the following.

1-Describe your strategy for searching for evidence.

2-Who wrote the selected source?

3-Who is the intended audience?

4-How current is the evidence?

5-Are there bibliographies, citations, references, or footnotes?

6-Do the sources cited appear credible? Why or why not?

7-What creative action can you take in sharing evidence with others at your workplace? 

Please answer each questions separated and use at least 3 sources no later than 5 years

Answer the follwing questions:

“All teams are bound to encounter some “people issues” from time to time. If you were the Team Leader:

• What are some methods that you would use to PREVENT conflict?
• What are some methods you would use to RESOLVE conflict should it arise?
• Do you think conflict on a team is always a bad thing? Why or why not?”

Note: Review the PowerPoint Presentation Template available through the Walden Writing Center (http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates/general#s-lg-box-2774362). While this template provides a general outline that may be used to help inform your presentation, you are urged to use individual creativity in the development of your presentation to the hospital administrator.

To complete the assessment, read the following instructions. Then, create a 12-to-15 slide presentation (excluding the cover and reference slide) that presents performance comparisons of two healthcare facilities.

Scenario:

The administrator for your healthcare organization is asking nurse leaders to understand how quality of care is measured as well as determine what each nurse can do to make an impact on areas that need improvement in healthcare organizations. Each nurse leader is asked to gather pertinent data from two organizations and to compare this data to assess performance. State and national averages should be identified when using the benchmark data from the Compare sites and should be used to compile a presentation to the hospital administrator.

In response to your administrator’s request, you will brainstorm and create a presentation that will highlight performance comparisons for two healthcare organizations. Note, you should compare two of the same healthcare organization type (example: if you select a hospital, you will need to select an additional hospital for the comparison; if you select a home health agency, you will need to select an additional home health agency for the comparison).

Be sure to base the information for your presentation on your clinical experience. Review the data from the Compare sites and brainstorm on what the data may be highlighting and indicating relative to each healthcare organization’s performance. Your presentation should contain the following sections:

1. Cover slide with name and title (1 slide)
2. Identify and describe any potential factors that may account for differences in performance measures. (2-3 slides)
3. Explain how these differences in performance measures might impact nursing practice. (2-3 slides)
4. Describe the publicly reported data on the quality and safety of care for TWO of the following organizations. Select hospitals, nursing homes, OR home health agencies, and describe the data listed under the organizations in your comparison: (6 slides)
   1. Hospitals
      (Choose one of the following to compare two hospitals)
      1. Patient Survey Results
      2. Timely and Effective Care
      3. Readmissions, Complications, and Deaths
      4. Linking Quality to Payment
      5. Medicare Volume
   2. Nursing Homes
      (Choose one of the following to compare two nursing homes)
      1. Overall Rating
      2. Health Inspections
      3. Staffing
      4. Quality Measures
   3. Home Health Agencies
      (Choose one of the following to compare two home health agencies)
      1. Quality of Patient Care
      2. Patient Survey Results
5. Provide recommendations that are supported by the research literature for clinical decisions systems that may potentially explain why the healthcare organizations are performing well, including an explanation of what you, as a nurse leader might continue doing to sustain a high level of performance OR why the healthcare organizations are not meeting standards, including an explanation of what you, as a nurse leader might do to help reach standards in the selected healthcare organizations. Be sure to cite at least 3 scholarly resources to support your recommendations. (2-3 slides)
6. Reference slide that cites all resources consulted and used to support the development of your presentation (1 slide)
